order (1) to attract and retain Eligible Employees and Directors, (2) to provide

Director with a stake in the future of the Company which corresponds to the
stake of each of the Company's shareholders.

                           reorganization, merger, consolidation or share
                           exchange or similar form of corporate transaction

Option, a Stock Appreciation Right or a Stock Grant which are forfeited

                                   COMMITTEE

         This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee acting
in its absolute discretion shall exercise such powers and take such action as
expressly called for under this Plan and, further, the Committee shall have the
power to interpret this Plan and (subject to Section 14 and Section 15 and Rule
16b-3) to take such other action in the administration and operation of this
Plan as the Committee deems equitable under the circumstances, which action
shall be binding on the Company, on each affected Eligible Employee or Director
and on each other person directly or indirectly affected by such action.
Furthermore, the Committee as a condition to making any grant under this Plan to
any Eligible Employee or Director shall have the right to require him or her to

                                     OPTIONS

         7.1      Committee Action. The Committee acting in its absolute
discretion shall have the right to grant Options to Eligible Employees and to
Directors under this Plan from time to time to purchase shares of Stock, but the
Committee shall not, absent the approval of the Company's shareholders, take any
action, whether through amendment, cancellation, replacement grants, or any
other means, to reduce the Option Price of any outstanding Options. Each grant
of an Option to a Eligible Employee or Director shall be evidenced by an Option
Certificate, and each Option Certificate shall set forth whether the Option is
an ISO or a Non-ISO and shall set forth such other terms and conditions of such
grant as the Committee acting in its absolute discretion deems consistent with
the terms of this Plan; however, (a) if the Committee grants an ISO and a
Non-ISO to a Eligible Employee on the same date, the right of the Eligible
Employee to exercise the ISO shall not be conditioned on his or her failure to
exercise the Non-ISO and (b) if the only condition to exercise of the Option is
the completion of a period of service, such period of service shall be no less
than the one (1) year period which starts on the date as of which the Option is
granted.

         7.2      $100,000 Limit. No Option shall be treated as an ISO to the
extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Option
which would first become exercisable in any calendar year exceeds $100,000. Any
such excess shall instead automatically be treated as a Non-ISO. The Committee
shall interpret and administer the ISO limitation set forth in this Section 7.2
in accordance with Section 422(d) of the Code, and the Committee shall treat
this Section 7.2 as in effect only for those periods for which Section 422(d) of
the Code is in effect.

<PAGE>

         7.3      Option Price. The Option Price for each share of Stock subject
to an Option shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on
the date the Option is granted; provided, however, if the Option is an ISO
granted to an Eligible Employee who is a Ten Percent Shareholder, the Option
Price for each share of Stock subject to such ISO shall be no less than 110% of
the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date such ISO is granted.

         7.4      Payment. The Option Price shall be payable in full upon the
exercise of any Option and, at the discretion of the Committee, an Option
Certificate can provide for the payment of the Option Price either in cash, by
check or in Stock which has been held for at least 6 months and which is
acceptable to the Committee, or through any cashless exercise procedure which is
effected by an unrelated broker through a sale of Stock in the open market and
which is acceptable to the Committee, or in any combination of such forms of
payment. Any payment made in Stock shall be treated as equal to the Fair Market
Value of such Stock on the date the certificate for such Stock (or proper
evidence of such certificate) is presented to the Committee or its delegate in
such form as acceptable to the Committee.

         7.5      Exercise.

                           (a)      Exercise Period. Each Option granted under
                                    this Plan shall be exercisable in whole or
                                    in part at such time or times as set forth
                                    in the related Option Certificate, but no
                                    Option Certificate shall make an Option
                                    exercisable on or after the earlier of

                                            (1)      the date which is the fifth
                                                     anniversary of the date the
                                                     Option is granted, if the
                                                     Option is an ISO and the
                                                     Eligible Employee is a Ten
                                                     Percent Shareholder on the
                                                     date the Option is granted,

                                                     anniversary of the date the
                                                     Option is granted, if the
                                                     Option is (a) a Non-ISO or

                                                     to an Eligible Employee who
                                                     is not a Ten Percent
                                                     Shareholder on the date the
                                                     Option is granted.

                           (b)      Termination of Status as Eligible Employee
                                    or Director. Subject to Section 7.5(a), an
                                    Option Certificate may provide for the
                                    exercise of an Option after an Eligible
                                    Employee's or a Director's status as such
                                    has terminated for any reason whatsoever,
                                    including death or disability.

                                    Section 8

                            STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

         8.1      Committee Action. The Committee acting in its absolute
discretion shall have the right to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible
Employees and to Directors under this Plan from time to time, and each Stock
Appreciation Right grant shall be evidenced by a Stock Appreciation Right
Certificate or, if such Stock Appreciation Right is granted as part of an
Option, shall be evidenced by the Option Certificate for the related Option.

         8.2      Terms and Conditions.

                  (a)      Stock Appreciation Right Certificate. If a Stock
                           Appreciation Right is granted independent of an
                           Option, such Stock Appreciation Right shall be
                           evidenced by a Stock Appreciation Right Certificate,
                           and such certificate shall set forth the number of
                           shares of Stock on which the Eligible Employee's or
                           Director's right to appreciation shall be based and
                           the SAR

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

                           Value of each share of Stock. Such SAR Value shall be
                           no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of
                           Stock on the date that the Stock Appreciation Right
                           is granted. The Stock Appreciation Right Certificate
                           shall set forth such other terms and conditions for
                           the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right as the
                           Committee deems appropriate under the circumstances,
                           but no Stock Appreciation Right Certificate shall
                           make a Stock Appreciation Right exercisable on or
                           after the date which is the tenth anniversary of the
                           date such Stock Appreciation Right is granted.

                  (b)      Option Certificate. If a Stock Appreciation Right is
                           granted together with an Option, such Stock
                           Appreciation Right shall be evidenced by an Option
                           Certificate, the number of shares of Stock on which
                           the Eligible Employee's or Director's right to
                           appreciation shall be based shall be the same as the
                           number of shares of Stock subject to the related
                           Option, and the SAR Value for each such share of
                           Stock shall be no less than the Option Price under
                           the related Option. Each such Option Certificate
                           shall provide that the exercise of the Stock
                           Appreciation Right with respect to any share of Stock
                           shall cancel the Eligible Employee's or Director's
                           right to exercise his or her Option with respect to
                           such share and, conversely, that the exercise of the
                           Option with respect to any share of Stock shall
                           cancel the Eligible Employee's or Director's right to
                           exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right with
                           respect to such share. A Stock Appreciation Right
                           which is granted as part of an Option shall be
                           exercisable only while the related Option is
                           exercisable. The Option

                           Certificate shall set forth such other terms and
                           conditions for the exercise of the Stock Appreciation
                           Right as the Committee deems appropriate under the
                           circumstances.

                  (c)      Minimum Period of Service. If the only condition to
                           exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right is the
                           completion of a period of service, such period of
                           service shall be no less than the one (1) year period
                           which starts on the date as of which the Stock
                           Appreciation Right is granted.

         8.3      Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only
when the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on which the right to
appreciation is based exceeds the SAR Value for such share, and the payment due
on exercise shall be based on such excess with respect to the number of shares
of Stock to which the exercise relates. An Eligible Employee or Director upon
the exercise of his or her Stock Appreciation Right shall receive a payment from
the Company in cash or in Stock issued under this Plan, or in a combination of
cash and Stock, and the number of shares of Stock issued shall be based on the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right
is exercised. The Committee acting in its absolute discretion shall have the
right to determine the form and time of any payment under this Section 8.3.

                                   Section 9.

discretion shall have the right to make Stock Grants and Stock Unit Grants to
Eligible Employees and to Directors. Each Stock Grant and each Stock Unit Grant
shall be evidenced by a Stock Grant Certificate, and each Stock Grant
Certificate shall set forth the conditions, if any, under which Stock will be
issued under the Stock Grant or cash will be paid under the Stock Unit Grant and
the conditions under

                                      -14-

which the Eligible Employee's or Director's interest in any Stock which has been
issued will become non-forfeitable.

      9.2   Conditions.

            (a)   Conditions to Issuance of Stock. The Committee acting in its
                  absolute discretion may make the issuance of Stock under a
                  Stock Grant subject to the satisfaction of one, or more than
                  one, condition which the Committee deems appropriate under the
                  circumstances for Eligible Employees or Directors generally or
                  for an Eligible Employee or a Director in particular, and the
                  related Stock Grant Certificate shall set forth each such
                  condition and the deadline for satisfying each such condition.
                  Stock subject to a Stock Grant shall be issued in the name of
                  an Eligible Employee or Director only after each such
                  condition, if any, has been timely satisfied, and any Stock
                  which is so issued shall be held by the Company pending the
                  satisfaction of the forfeiture conditions, if any, under
                  Section 9.2(b) for the related Stock Grant.

            (b)   Conditions on Forfeiture of Stock or Cash Payment. The
                  Committee acting in its absolute discretion may make any cash
                  payment due under a Stock Unit Grant or Stock issued in the
                  name of an Eligible Employee or Director under a Stock Grant
                  non-forfeitable subject to the satisfaction of one, or more
                  than one, objective employment, performance or other condition
                  that the Committee acting in its absolute discretion deems
                  appropriate under the circumstances for Eligible Employees or
                  Directors generally or for an Eligible Employee or a Director
                  in particular, and the

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

                  related Stock Grant Certificate shall set forth each such
                  condition, if any, and the deadline, if any, for satisfying
                  each such condition. An Eligible Employee's or a Director's
                  non-forfeitable interest in the shares of Stock underlying a
                  Stock Grant or the cash payable under a Stock Unit Grant shall
                  depend on the extent to which he or she timely satisfies each
                  such condition. Each share of Stock underlying a Stock Grant
                  shall not be available under Section 3 after such grant is
                  effective until such time, if any, as such share thereafter is
                  forfeited as a result of a failure to timely satisfy a
                  forfeiture condition, in which event such share of Stock shall
                  again become available under Section 3 as of the date of such
                  forfeiture. Finally, the Company shall have the right to
                  require an Eligible Employee or Director to sign an
                  irrevocable stock power in favor of the Company with respect
                  to forfeitable shares of Stock issued under this Section
                  9.2(b) in order for the Company to effect a forfeiture in
                  accordance with this Section 9.2(b).

            (c)   Minimum Period of Service. If the only condition to the
                  forfeiture of a Stock Grant or a Stock Unit Grant is the
                  completion of a period of service, such period of service
                  shall be no less than the one (1) year period which starts on
                  the date as of which the Stock Grant or Stock Unit Grant is
                  made.

      9.3   Dividends, Voting Rights and Creditor Status.

            (a)   Cash Dividends. Except as otherwise set forth in a Stock Grant
                  or Stock Unit Grant, if a dividend is paid in cash on a share
                  of Stock after (1) such Stock has been issued under a Stock
                  Grant or (2) the date of the Stock

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

                  Unit Grant, but, in either case, before the first date that an
                  Eligible Employee's or a Director's interest in such Stock
                  Grant or Stock Unit Grant (1) is forfeited completely or (2)
                  becomes completely non-forfeitable, the Company shall pay such
                  cash dividend directly to such Eligible Employee or Director.

            (b)   Stock Dividends. If a dividend is paid on a share of Stock in
                  Stock after (1) such Stock has been issued under a Stock Grant
                  or (2) the date of the Stock Unit Grant, but, in either case,
                  before the first date that an Eligible Employee's or a
                  Director's interest in such Stock Grant or Stock Unit Grant
                  (1) is forfeited completely or (2) becomes completely
                  non-forfeitable, the Company shall hold such dividend Stock
                  subject to the same conditions under Section 9.2(b) as the
                  related Stock Grant or Stock Unit.

            (c)   Other. If a dividend (other than a dividend described in
                  Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b)) is paid with respect to a
                  share of Stock after (1) such Stock has been issued under a
                  Stock Grant or (2) the date of the Stock Unit Grant, but, in
                  either case, before the first date that an Eligible Employee's
                  or a Director's interest in such Stock Grant or Stock Unit
                  Grant (1) is forfeited completely or (2) becomes completely
                  non-forfeitable, the Company shall distribute or hold such
                  dividend in accordance with such rules as the Committee shall
                  adopt with respect to each such dividend.

            (d)   Voting. Except as otherwise set forth in a Stock Grant, an
                  Eligible Employee or a Director shall have the right to vote
                  the Stock issued under his or her Stock Grant during the
                  period which comes after such Stock has

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

                  been issued under a Stock Grant but before the first date that
                  an Eligible Employee's or Director's interest in such Stock
                  (1) is forfeited completely or (2) becomes completely
                  non-forfeitable.

            (e)   General Creditor Status. An Eligible Employee and a Director
                  to whom a Stock Unit Grant is made shall be no more than a
                  general and unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to
                  any cash payable under such Stock Unit Grant.

      9.4   Satisfaction of Forfeiture Conditions. A share of Stock shall cease
            to be subject to a Stock Grant at such time as an Eligible
            Employee's or a Director's interest in such Stock becomes
            non-forfeitable under this Plan, and the certificate or other
            evidence of ownership representing such share shall be transferred
            to the Eligible Employee or Director as soon as practicable
            thereafter.

      9.5   Income Tax Deduction.

            (a)   General. The Committee shall (where the Committee under the
                  circumstances deems in the Company's best interest) make Stock
                  Grants and Stock Unit Grants to Eligible Employees either (1)
                  subject to at least one condition related to one, or more than
                  one, performance goal based on the performance goals described
                  in Section 9.5(b) which seems likely to result in the Stock
                  Grant or Stock Unit Grant qualifying as "performance-based
                  compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Code or (2) under
                  such other circumstances as the Committee deems likely to
                  result in an income tax deduction for the Company with respect
                  such Stock Grant or Stock Unit Grant. A performance goal may
                  be set in any manner determined by the

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

                  Committee, including looking to achievement on an absolute or
                  relative basis in relation to peer groups or indexes.

            (b)   Performance Goals. A performance goal is described in this
                  Section 9.5(b) if such goal relates to (1) the Company's
                  return over capital costs or increases in return over capital
                  costs, (2) the Company's total earnings or the growth in such
                  earnings, (3) the Company's consolidated earnings or the
                  growth in such earnings, (4) the Company's earnings per share
                  or the growth in such earnings, (5) the Company's net earnings
                  or the growth in such earnings, (6) the Company's earnings
                  before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization and
                  other non-cash items or the growth in such earnings, (7) the
                  Company's earnings before interest and taxes or the growth in
                  such earnings, (8) the Company's consolidated net income or
                  the growth in such income, (9) the value of the Company's
                  common stock or the growth in such value, (10) the Company's
                  stock price or the growth in such price, (11) the Company's
                  return on assets or the growth on such return, (12) the
                  Company's cash flow or the growth in such cash flow, (13) the
                  Company's total shareholder return or the growth in such
                  return, (14) the Company's expenses or the reduction of such
                  expenses, (15) the Company's sales growth, (16) the Company's
                  overhead ratios or changes in such ratios, (17) the Company's
                  expense-to-sales ratios or the changes in such ratios, or (18)
                  the Company's economic value added or changes in such value
                  added. The Committee shall determine in writing whether a
                  performance goal has been satisfied for a given period.

                                      -19-

            (c)   Adjustments. When the Committee determines whether a
                  performance goal has been satisfied for any period, the
                  Committee may exclude any or all "extraordinary items" as
                  determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
                  and any other unusual or non-recurring items, including,
                  without limitation, the charges or costs associated with
                  restructurings of the Company, discontinued operations, and
                  the cumulative effects of accounting changes. The Committee
                  may also adjust any performance goal for a period as it deems
                  equitable in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events
                  affecting the Company, changes in applicable tax laws or
                  accounting principles, or such other factors as the Committee
                  may determine (including, without limitation, any adjustments
                  that would result in the Company's paying non-deductible
                  compensation to an Eligible Employee).

                                   Section 10

                               NON-TRANSFERABILITY

      No Option, Stock Grant, Stock Unit Grant or Stock Appreciation Right shall
(absent the Committee's consent) be transferable by an Eligible Employee or a
Director other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any
Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall (absent the Committee's consent) be
exercisable during a Eligible Employee's or Director's lifetime only by the
Eligible Employee or Director. The person or persons to whom an Option or Stock
Grant or Stock Unit Grant or Stock Appreciation Right is transferred by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution (or with the Committee's consent)
thereafter shall be treated as the Eligible Employee or Director.

                             SECURITIES REGISTRATION

      As a condition to the receipt of shares of Stock under this Plan, the
Eligible Employee or Director shall, if so requested by the Company, agree to
hold such shares of Stock for investment and not with a view of resale or
distribution to the public and, if so requested by the Company, shall deliver to
the Company a written statement satisfactory to the Company to that effect.
Furthermore, if so requested by the Company, the Eligible Employee or Director
shall make a written representation to the Company that he or she will not sell
or offer for sale any of such Stock unless a registration statement shall be in
effect with respect to such Stock under the 1933 Act and any applicable state
securities law or he or she shall have furnished to the Company an opinion in
form and substance satisfactory to the Company of legal counsel satisfactory to
the Company that such registration is not required. Certificates or other
evidence of ownership representing the Stock transferred upon the exercise of an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the lapse of the forfeiture
conditions, if any, on any Stock Grant may at the discretion of the Company bear
a legend to the effect that such Stock has not been registered under the 1933
Act or any applicable state securities law and that such Stock cannot be sold or
offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement as to
such Stock under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities law or an
opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Company of legal counsel
satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.

                                  LIFE OF PLAN

      No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be granted or Stock Grant or
Stock Unit Grant made under this Plan on or after the earlier of:

                  (1)   the tenth anniversary of the effective date of this Plan
                        (as determined under Section 4), in which event this
                        Plan otherwise thereafter shall continue in effect until
                        all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
                        have been exercised in full or no longer are
                        exercisable, all Stock issued under any Stock Grants
                        under this Plan have been forfeited or have become
                        non-forfeitable and all Stock Unit Grants have been
                        forfeited or been paid; or

                  (2)   the date on which all of the Stock reserved under
                        Section 3 has (as a result of the exercise of Options or
                        Stock Appreciation Rights granted under this Plan or the
                        satisfaction of the forfeiture conditions, if any, on
                        Stock Grants) been issued or no longer is available for
                        use under this Plan, in which event this Plan and any
                        outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Stock
                        Grants also shall terminate on such date.

                                   ADJUSTMENT

thereof) of shares of Stock reserved under Section 3, the grant caps described

and the Option Price of such Options and the SAR Value of such Stock

thereof) of shares of Stock subject to Stock Grants or Stock Unit Grants made
under this Plan shall be adjusted by the Committee in an equitable manner to
reflect any equity restructuring or change in the

capitalization of the Company, including, but not limited to, spin offs, stock

combination thereof) of shares of Stock reserved under Section 3 and the annual
grant caps described in Section 3. Furthermore, the Committee as part of any
corporate transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code shall have the

combination thereof) of shares of Stock subject to any outstanding Stock Grants
or Stock Unit Grants under this Plan and any related grant conditions and
forfeiture conditions, and the number, kind or class (or any combination
thereof) of shares subject to Option and Stock Appreciation Right grants
previously made under this Plan and the related Option Price and SAR Value for
each such Option and Stock Appreciation Right, and, further, shall have the
right (in any manner which the Committee in its discretion deems consistent with
Section 424(a) of the Code and without regard to the annual grant caps described
in Section 3 of this Plan) to make any Stock Grants and Option and Stock
Appreciation Right grants to effect the assumption of, or the substitution for,
stock grants, stock unit grants and option and stock appreciation right grants
previously made by any other corporation to the extent that such corporate
transaction calls for such substitution or assumption of such stock grants,
stock unit grants and stock option and stock appreciation right grants.

      13.3  Fractional Shares. If any adjustment under this Section 13 would
create a fractional share of Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of
Stock under any Option, Stock

                                      -23-

Appreciation Right or Stock Grant, such fractional share shall be disregarded
and the number of shares of Stock reserved under this Plan and the number
subject to any Options or Stock Appreciation Right grants and Stock Grants shall
be the next lower number of shares of Stock, rounding all fractions downward. An
adjustment made under this Section 13 by the Committee shall be conclusive and
binding on all affected persons.

Appreciation Rights, Stock Grants and Stock Unit Grants after providing each
Eligible Employee and Director a reasonable period to exercise his or her
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and to take such other action as necessary
or appropriate to receive the Stock subject to any Stock Grants and the cash
payable under any Stock Unit Grants; provided, if any issuance or forfeiture
condition described in this Section 14 relates to satisfying any performance
goal and there is a target for such goal, such issuance or forfeiture condition
shall be deemed satisfied under this Section 14 only to the extent of such
target unless such target has been exceeded before the Change Effective Date, in
which event such issuance or forfeiture condition shall be deemed satisfied to
the extent such target had been so exceeded.
